[just another ref]

My limit now is 3 in a day, and I prefer 2. Nobody alive, in my opinion, needs to do more than 2 high school games consecutively. The quality will suffer after that.

But, back around 1990: I got a call to do a fundraising tournament to raise money for a guy's medical bills from a wreck. 50 bucks for the day. I said I would do it. It started at 9:00 a.m. Guess what? No partner. One of the players at the place hosting filled in for the first couple of games, actually doing a pretty nice job. 5 minute halftimes, 10 minutes between games, and a 30 minute break at noon. The rest of the time, we were playing ball, finished up around 10 p.m. 10 games total.

Due to all the circumstances, highlighted by the partner no-show, they actually paid me 80 bucks instead of 50. I graciously accepted.

Ah, to be young again...
